ADEMCO 4110XM SECURITY SYSTEM User Guide N5100V5 4/99 Rev. C

IMPORTANT! PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines). EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found in the National Fire Protection Association Recommendations section of this manual.

System Overview General This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your system may consist of at least one keypad which provides full control of system operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door and window sensing devices, plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station. Keypads All system functions are controlled by your keypad(s). The keypads feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences. Their built-in sounder will sound during alarm and trouble conditions. For additional information, see the following section: ABOUT THE KEYPAD. Zones Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various zones. For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs. Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and a message at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, if your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm the system. 5

System Overview (cont d) Fire Protection The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your premises. Burglary Protection The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM. Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM sections for instructions in using these modes of operation. Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Memory of Alarm When an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm or trouble (ex. FIRE, ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it is cleared by entering the OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) twice. Pager Notification If you have chosen to be notified of alarms or other system conditions by pager, the following codes will be sent to your pager by the control: 1811=Trouble 1911=Alarm 1001=Open 1002=Close 6

SUMMARY OF KEYPAD FUNCTIONS 1. DISPLAY WINDOW: Displays protection zone ID and system status messages. 2. 1 OFF KEY: Disarms burglary portion of the system, silences alarms and audible trouble indicators, and clears visual display after problem's correction. 3. 2 AWAY KEY: Arms the entire burglary system, perimeter and interior. 4. 3 STAY KEY: Arms perimeter portion of burglary system only. Interior protection is not armed, which allows movement within premises without causing alarm. 5. 4 MAXIMUM KEY: Arms in manner similar to AWAY mode, but without the entry delay feature, thus providing maximum protection. An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any protection point, including the entry/exit door. 6. 5 TEST KEY: Tests the system and alarm sounder if disarmed. Refer to TESTING THE SYSTEM section for test procedures. 7. 6 BYPASS KEY: Removes individual protection zones from being monitored by the system. Keypad Functions 8. 7 INSTANT KEY: Arms in manner similar to STAY mode, but without the entry delay feature. Entering via the entry/exit door will cause an instant alarm. 9. 8 CODE KEY: Used to assign additional user codes for other users of the system. 10. 9 CHIME KEY: Turns CHIME mode on and off. When on, the opening of windows or doors while the system is disarmed will sound 3 beeps at the keypad(s). 11. READY KEY: Displays all open protection zones. 12. # KEY: "Quick Arm" key permits ARMING of the system without use of a security code (if so programmed). 13. KEYS 0 9 : Used to enter your security code(s). 14. READY INDICATOR: (GREEN) Lit when the system is ready to be armed (no faults present). While the system is disarmed, this indicator will go on and off as protection zones are closed and opened. Note: On some keypads a POWER INDICATOR (GREEN) is lit when AC power is present. If the indicator is off, the system may still be operating, but on its backup battery power. See Power Failure in TROUBLE CONDITIONS section. 9

Keypad Functions (cont d) 15. ARMED INDICATOR: (RED) Lit when the system has been armed (STAY, AWAY, INSTANT or MAXIMUM). 16. INTERNAL SOUNDER: The built-in keypad sounder mimics the alarm sounder during alarms, and will also "beep" during certain system functions. (see SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE/ VISUAL NOTIFICATION). 17. EMERGENCY KEYS: Individual keys A, B, and C (key D not used). On some keypads, these keys are not present, and the following key pairs may be available, instead, for emergency functions: 16 15 14 ARMED READY 17 1 2 3 4 A 1 OFF 2 AWAY 3 STAY B C 4 5 6 MAX TEST BYPASS 7 INSTANT READY 8 CODE 0 # 9 CHIME 8 11 13 9 5 6 7 10 12 6150-007-V0 & #, & 1, # & 3 Some or all of these keys/pairs may be programmed for panic functions by your installer (see PANIC KEYS section). IMPORTANT! When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 2 seconds of one another. If 2 seconds elapses without a key depression, the entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning. Note: Keys 1 through 9 each perform their associated companion functions (OFF, AWAY, STAY, etc.) when preceded by an entry of the security code (as described later). 10

Security Codes General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code, known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary user codes can be assigned (see next page) for use by those not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are assigned. Duress Code Ask your installer if "Duress" is active for your system. If so, check here: This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the central station of your situation, if that service has been provided. The Duress code is defined as User number 8. Important: The Duress code is useful only when connected to a central station. Quick Arming Ask your installer if "Quick Arming" is active for your system. If so, check here: If your system supports "Quick Arming", the "#" key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security code is always required, however, when disarming the system. 11

Security Codes (cont d) Assigning, Changing, or Deleting User Codes 4-DIGIT USER CODES It is recommended that obvious codes such as 1 1 1 1 or 1 2 3 4 not be assigned. 1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE key. 2. Enter single-digit user number ('2', '3', '4', '5', '6' or '7') for which a code is to be assigned, changed, or deleted. 3. If assigning or changing a user's code, enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that user number. The keypad will beep once. If deleting a user's code, perform steps 1 & 2 and stop. In a few moments the keypad will beep once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted. To assign your Duress code, perform the following: Enter your [Master code] + [8] + [8] + [desired 4-digit code]. The keypad will beep once. The Master code can be changed by the main user of the system. To change it, perform the following: Enter your [Master code] + [8] + [1] + [new Master code] + [new Master code] again. The keypad will beep once. Important: Temporary users should not be shown how to use any system function they do not need to know (e.g., bypassing protection zones). 12

Entry/Exit Delays General Information Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit door without setting off an alarm. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the entry/exit door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep slowly during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes can provide greater security while you are sleeping or while you are away for extended periods of time. See your installer for your delay times and record them here: Exit Delay: Entry Delay: seconds seconds 13

Checking for Open Zones Using the READY Key Before your system can be armed, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section), otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message, and if your keypad has a READY indicator light, it will not be lit. The READY key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to secure any open zone. To display faulted zones, simply press and release the READY key (do not enter code first). Secure or bypass the zones displayed before arming the system. A "Ready" message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed and the keypad's READY indicator light (if present) will be lit. TYPICAL DISPLAYS WHEN NOT READY TO ARM AC NOT READY 4110-002-V0 INDICATING FAULTED PROTECTION ZONE (AFTER PRESSING READY KEY) 03 AC NOT READY 4110-003-V0 INDICATING "READY TO ARM" AC 4110-004-V0 14

Arming the System Using the 3 STAY Key (Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay On) Use this key when you are staying inside, but expect someone to use an entry/exit door later. Before Arming close all doors and windows (see CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES). 1. Enter your security code and press the STAY key. 2. The keypad will beep three times and will display the armed message. The red ARMED indicator will light. 3. The system will arm. An alarm will sound immediately if a protected perimeter window or non-entry/exit door is then opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Later arrivals can enter through an entry/exit door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

Disarming and Silencing Alarms Using the 1 OFF Key The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on: DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off: the keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence (the Memory of Alarm feature). LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. WHEN SAFE TO DO SO, re-enter and follow the procedure for silencing an alarm. To Disarm the System Enter your security code and press the OFF key. The "Ready" message will be displayed, and the keypad will emit a single tone to confirm that the system is disarmed. To Silence a Burglary Alarm Enter your security code and press the OFF key to silence the alarm (or warning tones of a Memory of Alarm). Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and make that zone intact (close door, window, etc.). Now enter the security code plus OFF sequence again to clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display. If the display will not clear and does not provide a "Ready" message, notify the alarm agency. To Silence a Fire Alarm simply press the OFF key (the security code is not needed to silence FIRE alarms). To then clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display, enter your security code and press the OFF key again. Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for additional information. Refer to the Summary of Audible/Visual Notification section for information which will help you to distinguish between FIRE (Interrupted/Pulsed) and BURGLARY (Continuous/Steady) alarm sounds. 19

Bypassing Protection Zones Using the 6 BYPASS Key This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first. When bypassing zones: The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed. All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated while your system is armed. 1. Enter your security code and press the BYPASS key. 2. Enter zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.). Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06). 3. When finished, the keypad will display a "Bypass" message along with each bypassed zone number, accompanied by a beep for each. Wait for these zones to be displayed, to confirm their bypass. 4. Arm the system as usual. TYPICAL MOMENTARY DISPLAY OF BYPASSED ZONE 03 BYPASS AC 4110-001-V0 FIXED-WORD 20

Bypassing Protection Zones (cont d) Quick Bypass Ask your installer if "Quick Bypass" is active for your system, and if so, check here: If your system supports "Quick Bypass," it allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. To use this feature, enter your security code, press the BYPASS key, then stop. In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed along with a "Bypass" message. Wait for all bypassed zones to be displayed, then arm the system as usual. TYPICAL DISPLAY "READY TO ARM WITH ZONES BYPASSED" SUPV NO AC AWAY PHONE TEST BYPASS NOT READY ALARM STAY CHIME BAT FIRE CHECK INSTANT TAMPER FIXED-WORD 21

Using the Keyswitch General Arming Disarming Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. A single red light on the keyswitch plate indicates the status of your system as follows: OFF = Disarmed, Not Ready for Arming SLOW FLASHING = Disarmed, Ready for Arming RAPID FLASHING = Armed STAY or AWAY To arm in the AWAY mode, turn key to right for 1/2 second. To arm in the STAY mode, hold key turned to right for more than one second. The keypads will beep twice (AWAY mode) or 3 times (STAY mode) and the keyswitch light will flash rapidly. To disarm the system, turn the key to the right and release. If an alarm has occurred during the armed period, the keyswitch's light will not flash on disarming (thus indicating memory of an alarm). With some controls, turning the keyswitch key to the right a second time after disarming can clear the alarm from memory, but it is advisable, instead, to refer to a keypad to diagnose and clear any problem, and to subsequently clear alarm memory. 22

Chime Mode Using the 9 CHIME Key This feature can be used only while the burglary system is disarmed. Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is disarmed by using CHIME mode. When activated, three tones will sound at the Keypad whenever a protected door or window is opened. Pressing the READY key will display the open points. To turn Chime Mode on: Enter the security code and press the CHIME key. The CHIME message will appear. To turn Chime Mode off: Enter the security code and press the CHIME key again. The CHIME message will disappear. 23

Panic Keys Using Panic Keys Your system may have been programmed to use special keys or combinations of keys to manually activate emergency (panic) functions. The functions that might be programmed are: Silent Emergency, Audible Emergency, Personal Emergency, and Fire. To activate a Panic Function Press an active lettered key for at least two seconds. OR Press both keys of an active pair at the same time. A silent emergency will send a silent alarm signal to the central station*, but there will be no audible alarms or visual displays. An audible emergency will send a signal to the central station* and sound a loud, steady alarm at your keypad(s) and at any external sounders that may be connected (ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed). A personal emergency alarm will send an emergency message to the central station* and will sound at keypad(s), but not at external bells or sirens. A fire alarm will send a fire alarm message to the central station* and will uniquely sound at keypad(s) and external bells and sirens (FIRE plus a zone number would also be displayed). * If connected 24

Testing the System Using the 5 TEST Key The TEST key puts your system into Test mode, which allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation. Testing should be conducted weekly to ensure proper operation. NO ALARM REPORTS WILL BE SENT TO THE CENTRAL MONITORING STATION while the system is in Test mode. 1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The keypad's READY message should be displayed and the READY indicator (if present) should be lit. 2. Enter your security code and press the TEST key. 3. The keypad will sound a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the test mode. Each time a protection zone is faulted, the external siren or bell should sound for one second and then turn off, while the keypad sounds 3 beeps. If this does not happen, call for service immediately. 4. Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for the required sounds. The identification of each faulted protection point should appear on the display. 5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for the required sound as movement is detected. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated. 6. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors, to ensure that all are functioning properly. The identification of each detector should appear on the display when each is activated. 7. After all protection points have been checked and restored, there should be no zone identification numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. 8. Turn off the Test mode by entering the security code and pressing the OFF key. 26

General IF INSTALLED Fire Alarm System Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence the alarm. In Case Of Fire Alarm 1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest Keypad and manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key pair assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer). See the PANIC KEYS section. 2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department immediately. 4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone number(s) of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will be displayed at the Keypad.

Fire Alarm System (cont d) Silencing Fire Alarms 1. Silence the alarm by pressing the OFF key (security code not needed to silence fire alarms). To clear the display, enter your code and press the OFF key again (Memory of Alarm). 2. If the Keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second OFF sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke. 3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds. 4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and pressing the OFF key. 30

Fire Alarm System (cont d) National Fire Protection Association Recommendations on Smoke Detectors General With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's Standard #74 noted below. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the premises as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In addition, it is recommended that the owner consider the use of heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

Fire Alarm System (cont d) Emergency Evacuation Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association: PORCH BACK DOOR KITCHEN CLOSET BEDROOM BEDROOM BATH 2nd FLOOR BEDROOM BEDROOM BATH 1st FLOOR BACK BEDROOM Steps to Safety 1. Plan on your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders warning all occupants. 2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window, should your path be unpassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. 3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room. 4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape. 5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. 6. Crawl in the smoke and hold your breath. 7. Escape quickly; don't panic. FRONT floor_plan-002-v0 8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your premises, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the premises many die going back. 32

Regulatory Statements and Warnings (cont d) TELEPHONE/MODEM INTERFACE FCC Part 68 This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the front cover of this equipment is a label that contains the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). You must provide this information to the telephone company when requested. This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ31X This equipment may not be used on telephone-company-provided coin service. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. This equipment is hearing-aid compatible. Ringer Equivalence Number Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5. 39

IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS If your security system has been connected to the telephone line, and there is trouble with regular telephone service, disconnect the security system from the telephone line by removing the plug from the RJ31X (CA38A in Canada) telephone wall jack (you should have been shown how to do this by your installing company). Do not attempt to disconnect the telephone line connection inside the control cabinet. Doing so will result in the COMPLETE disruption of your regular telephone service. If the regular phone works correctly after the plug has been disconnected from the RJ31X wall jack, the security system has a problem and you should call your service representative for service immediately. If, upon disconnection of the security system from the wall jack, there is still a problem with telephone service, notify the telephone company that they have a problem and request prompt repair service. IMPORTANT: A security system connected to an alarm monitoring station relies on that connection. If the security system is at fault, reinsert the plug as soon as the security system is repaired. If the phone service is at fault, re-insert the plug immediately, to ensure resumption of full protection upon restoration of phone service. The user may not, under any circumstances (in or out of warranty), attempt any service or repairs to the system. 40

Limitations of this System WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example: Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device. Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly. A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90 to 105 F (32 to 40 C), the detection performance can decrease. Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders. Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately. This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time. The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property. We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments. 41
